The big guy travels through the book and becomes the female supporting role, torturing the scumbag a

Xie Rou's originally furrowed brows immediately relaxed in fear when she heard these words.

She couldn't help but touch her forehead, fearing that she would develop forehead wrinkles at such a young age.

Xie Ying looked at her suspiciously: "Sister, why are you touching your forehead? Is she suddenly feeling hot in the head and suspecting she has a fever?"

Xie Rou froze, bit her lip in frustration, and glanced at Xie Ying with resentment.

But she was afraid that Xie Ying would notice, so she deliberately asked, "Yingying, what gift do you like?"

Xie Ying's attention was instantly diverted to the gift sent by the Zhu family.

She was also quite curious: "What kind of gifts will the Zhu family give this time? The weather is getting colder, so they won't give leather and embroidery, right?"

The last time Xie Xiu won the first place in the provincial examination, the Zhu family's steward sent him a gift.

However, the other party was smart. He used the name of a fellow villager and the gift was not out of the ordinary, so Xie Xiu accepted it.

This time, Xie Ying guessed that the other party should be using the name of Xie Yi.

The Zhu family is a smart family. They were able to choose Xie Yun back then, so they can naturally choose Xie Xiu now.

The fact that Xie Xiu was able to pass the imperial examination meant that unless something unexpected happened, he would definitely pass the imperial examination.

As long as the Zhu family is not stupid, they will not miss this opportunity to invest in advance.

What's more, Zhu Xiucai married Xie Yi.

Xie Yi is Xie Xiu's biological half-sister. Although Xie Xiu has severed his relationship with Xie Yun, Xie Yi is only a concubine's daughter and has no grudge against Xie Xiu.

With such a relationship in place, the Zhu family has to test it out.

If Xie Xiu is willing to acknowledge Xie Yi as his half-sister, the two families will become relatives, and Xie Xiu can also become a helper to the Zhu family.

But if Xie Xiu refused to acknowledge her, then Xie Yi, who was Zhu Xiucai's wife, would be in an awkward position.

By the way, he can no longer be called Zhu Xiucai. This person has passed the imperial examination and become Zhu Juren.

Xie Ying guessed that the gift prepared by the Zhu family this time must be very thoughtful.

The fact was just as she guessed. This time, the Zhu family not only sent ten carts of high-quality silver frost charcoal, but also two carts of high-quality leather, two boxes of clothes, shoes and socks sewn by Xie Yi himself, four boxes of precious medicinal materials, and four carts of local products from Biyang County.

The ten carts of silver frost charcoal and leather alone were worth no less than two thousand taels.

Those four boxes of medicinal materials are also very valuable.

What's more, there are clothes, shoes and socks sewn by Shay himself.

Tu Jiaojiao felt that these gifts were too valuable and secretly didn't want to accept them, but when she thought of Xie Yi's current situation, she became a little worried.

She and Shay had only met a few times, so naturally they couldn't have a deep relationship.

But Xie Yi is in a difficult situation now, and she is worried that if she does not accept these gifts, Xie Yi will follow in Luo Sheng's footsteps.

Shay made these clothes and shoes and sent them over, obviously wanting to survive.

If she cut off Xie Yi's life, there was no guarantee that he would not feel resentment and deliberately seek revenge.

So after some hesitation, Tu Jiaojiao decided to leave the things behind temporarily and politely sent the Zhu family steward away.

Then he hurried to find Liu Zhichun, told her what had happened, and asked worriedly, "Mom, what do you think we should do about this?"

"Your concerns are valid. Xie Yi and her biological mother have survived under Chen Fang's nose for so many years. They are no ordinary people."

Liu Zhichun said quietly, "She was hastily promised to Zhu Huan back then, and even under those circumstances, she was able to give Rou such a gift.

Her situation is even more difficult now. If she wants to survive, she will be more reckless than before.

If you don't accept this gift, you will end her life and become her enemy. Although she is just a concubine's daughter, you can't be careless.

Since she is willing to make friends and has specially sent someone to send us something, let's take a closer look at what she has sent.

As long as the item is okay, I'll accept it and give you a gift in return."
